Sofa beds

Does anyone have a decent sofa bed that they use as their everyday main sofa that is comfortable, stylish and functional.

I'm looking to replace my sofa when I move, looking for something velvet and super comfortable and cool looking. Considering a sofa bed as will likely have my grown up daughters to over to stay a few times a year and only have one small spare room.

I looked into his a while back and unless you spend huge amounts of money, like multiple thousands, it is pretty much impossible to but a sofa bed which is comfy as a sofa and also as a bed. So which is most important to you? Comfy sofa or comfy bed? On the end we went for a comfy sofa which is long enough to just use as a single bed for guests anyway. It's pretty comfy.

A comfy sofa is definitely more important as that is what it will be used as daily. Was hoping there was one that still functioned as a passable double bed though as it will probably be my eldest and her boyfriend using it... no way I'd let my youngest on it to sleep as it would be absolutely covered in fake tan 😅

We have one that was from Laura Ashley when they still had shops that is comfy as a sofa and I would say for maybe monthly use as a bed we have had it for about 8 years and it's till going strong. https://www.dfs.co.uk/the-lynden-scatter-back/lys12kdtl is the nearest equivalent I can find and it's not cheap but I seem to remember we got ours on some sort of January sale and interest free option so worth keeping an eye out.

I have one this Sofa.com
I put in a 2.5 size / green velvet one as an example.
The sofa is pretty firm to start off with, but the bed is comfy to sleep on (that was important for me) and the sofa has softened a bit.
It still looks brand new, nearly 4 years on. Well worth the money.
Try and get to a showroom if you can. It’s worth seeing sofabed mattresses, as the really do differ.
